I feel pretty positive about the second coming of Soul Eater

I adored the Soul Eater anime, but I'm not sure how I feel about this. Has anyone here read the manga?

Bought it with a Kodansha Bundle and have yet to read it so I dunno, but to be fair the same could have been said about Kimetsu no Yaiba and that's considered a pretty solid comic.

It's still ongoing, and I'm in the same boat as a lot of other people where I got bored after a couple of chapters-the premise just didn't really hook me and none of the characters were really as interesting as anybody from soul eater- cleaner art aside, the feeling I got was that this manga felt like it should have been made before soul eater, and not after.

people who have stuck with it told me it got better after the introductory couple of arcs but i havent read it myself to confirm.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
TBH I don't think Soul Eater was especially good early on either.

It really got off the ground with the bad guys' mission to free Asura. It got legit scary, had some cool action, and had a really endearing pair of temporary protagonists in Eruka and Free.

Black Star vs Mifune was one of the best fights in a manga that I can remember. The bit where they stop trying to block and just start slashing each other like crazy was so goddamn hype.

I've heard really good things about Fire Force and that was a great PV.

The new season thread is finally up and running

Just as an aside, I said at the beginning of this season that I felt like there weren't many anime of interest, and while taste is subjective, there were a lot fewer threads produced than usual, and the page count was nearly half of what a typical seasonal thread has gotten over the past couple of years (Between 70-100 pages).

Carole and Tuesday being stuck in Netflix purgatory probably didn't help all that much but the season also seemed to lack a lot of good quality, interesting middle of the road shows we've had over the last few seasons in all genres.

Fruits Basket is very good, but it's a remake of something a lot of people have already seen so it doesn't seem to generate as much discussion. Sometimes stellar series generate almost no forum activity; I think the original Mushishi thread only went to ~7 pages or something.

That loving sucked (the licensing no-show; the show was cute as heck). Getting the episodes was a pain because no matter which torrent software I tried, they all bounced on me so I had to get crafty.

Yea I feel like this was a season where many great shows had few or even no posts at all.

I don't think this is true at all-I think there have been more posters making posts in ADTRW (though admittedly this might be anecdotal bias), just that they've been posting much less frequently (thanks discord, Twitter, real life)
